*The holographic environment simulator systems, or "holodecks" as they are called on the U.S.S. Enterprise, can create virtually any setting for the recreational use of the crew. Using the technology of the transporter (the limited ability to create matter from energy) the holodecks can create solid objects, such as chairs and tables, and supplement them with projected visual information to give the illusion of a real environment much larger than the true area of the holodeck. Also used for educational re-enactments and model simulations for design studies, the holodecks are an incredible productive aid to the crew, as well as a necessary recreational outlet for the crew as they travel through deep space. *Source: Back of card
